  • My brother's iPod nano went through the washer and dryer!

    My brother was looking for his nano for like a week. Yesterday my mom cleaned his room and put his clothes in the laundry. Today when we were folding the clothes we found it in his pants and it was really hot. Will it survive?

    Maybe.  Put it in a bag of uncooked rice, let it sit for a week.
    Good luck.

    Do not charge or try to use the iPod until dry.

  • Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

    Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine?  All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

    Hello kpratta,
    There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:

    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $149. They do not fix yours.

  • My iPod Touch 4 went through the washing machine

    My iPod touch 4 went through the washing machine what do I do????
    you can see water through the cameras.

    Dry best you can with towel and shaking and then follwo these instructions:

    You may have to periodically change the rice.  Do not turn the iPod on or charge it until it is dry.

  • My iPod went through the washing machine.  Can it be saved?  What should I do?

    My iPod went through the washing machine.  Can it be saved? What should I do?

    When electronics get emersed in liquid, it's not the actual water that causes them to break (although if you spilled something like coke with a bunch of sugar, the sugar would stay in the device even after the liquid of the coke dissolved). What breaks the device is if either it was on when it was emersed in water, or if you turn it on before all the water can evaporate. If so, the water will conduct the electricity between the wires and short circuit the device. If you weren't thick enough to try and turn your device on immediately after you took it out of the washing machine, then it should be fine if you just let the water evaporate. Another technique (to make the water evaporate faster and, on rare occassions, to save a device if you've turned if on while there was still water in it) is to put the device in rice and let it sit overnight. Hope this helps.

  • Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer!  Any hope?  What to do?

    Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?

    Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
    Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry.

  • Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    No. Just put it in rice as is.
    You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

  • My ipod went through the washing machine!

    Ok, i have a 1GB shuffle and not realizing it was still in my pants, it went through the wash and dryer. Is there anyway to salvage it?

    A friend of mine has a son who left his Nano in his pants that went through the wash and dryer. After sitting around for a few days it came back to life. They life in a dry desert community, so other parts of the world you may need to wait longer.
    Hope it comes back for you,

  • My iPod shuffle went through the washer and dryer. The little light turns on but no music comes through any headphones. ???

    What to do??
    Okay so I found my iPod had gone through the washer and dryer. It was perfectly dry. I tried to turn it on, and nothing. But I thought maybe it's just dead. So I plugged it in, let it charge...when I tried to turn it on, the little light went green. I thought hurray!! But I put in the earbuds and heard nothing except some random "Battery level 75 percent." On my sister's earbuds. On my earbuds, which went through the washer too, nothing.
    What to do???

    It's likely that your iPod is toast.  It does not play well with water and soap.

  • Help, my sons iPod went through the washing machine

    What do we do?

    Hey Bubbybalootoo, you can try the rice thing, but after going through a wash, don't expect much. (Just telling you up front-- so you don't get to excited). Leave it off, do not attempt to use or charge until you dry it out! Place the iPod in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for at least 10 days, (yes; a week and a half). Change the rice every couple of days. After 10 days attempt to turn it on, you may need to charge it. When you do attempt to charge watch the iPod closely, if you note is getting hot, or starts to make crackling sounds or starts to smoke or smell like something is burning UNPLUG IT IMMEDIATELY!! Means something has shorted out. If all appears to charge OK then charge it for 30 minutes keeping a close eye on it. Then attempt to turn on. You may need to Reset or Restore to new or try going into DFU recovery mode. And nothing may work, water is very for electronic devices, as you well know. This is a long shot, but for a couple of bucks of rice worth a try. If nothing works, contact Apple about purchasing an out of warranty refurbished iPod. Will be cheaper then buying new. Apple's warranty does not cover water damage, it is considered abusive use. If you attempted to turn on the iPod before drying it out, then the damage is definitely done, save your rice and buy a new iPod. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • My IPhone 5 went through the washer machine

    I was doing the laundry washing my bed sheets and other linens but I didn't know my IPhone 5 was among the bundle of items. After around 5 minutes, I realized the greatest mistake of my life and found my IPhone in the washer, at the bottom of the load, submerged in water. I took it out quickly and stupidly decided to see if charging it would turn it on. Obviously, that didn't work. Now, my phone is in a box of rice...what other actions should I take? How long should I keep the phone in the box of rice? Should I change the rice consistently? Thanks so much for the help!

    There is nothing more you can do. I'd recommend leaving it there for 4-5 days at least. You don't need to keep changing the rice.
    I also hope that it continues to be the biggest mistake you ever make in your life.
    Best of luck.

  • IPod video went through the washer

    I have the sick face on my video screen after drying out 1 week. Any suggestions or am I out of luck?

    You most likely have Logic Board damage from the water, and hard drive damage from the shakes and bumps. Even if you were to replace just these 2 things, you'd be better off buying a new iPod. A hard drive may run you $120 or so and a logic board $50 or so. And, theres no guarentee all your other parts didn't suffer any damage.
